Computer Science (Computer Programs) OpenCourseWare: Course Description

Learn to think like a programmer and utilize abstraction to solve issues rather than following computer hardware commands in this course taught by Brian Harvey. This UC Berkeley class focuses on teaching the different features of computer programming without delving into any specific programming languages. Query systems, data abstraction, and object-oriented and functional programming are examples of techniques for managing program details that are explored throughout the online course materials. Scheme, a programming language and dialect of Lisp, is referenced in this class. Prior knowledge of a programming language is helpful when studying these online materials. After this class, you should be able to learn a new programming language quickly and efficiently.

This free online course content is presented through recorded lectures in video or audio-only format. To listen to these course materials, visit the computer programming course page.
